BACKGROUND

The government and military widely use internet protocol (IP) based communications, including use in dynamic operational environments. Dynamic operational environments can take place in hotel rooms, residences, forward operating bases, and/or other impromptu temporary locations. Dynamic operating environments are considered to be any location where an individual, or individuals, desires to connect to a government or military network over an IP based communications connection.

These highly agile IP based communications sessions may include the required use of a National Security Agency (NSA) Type 1 accredited encryptor or an NSA Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Comprised Solution to protect sensitive or classified information and a classified computer, or computers, VoIP telephones, IP CCTV cameras, IP Video Teleconferencing Systems, or IP based sensors to view, edit, generate, or capture sensitive or classified data. These classified IP network connected appliances and devices are protected from exposing sensitive or classified information to the public IP network through the use of a NSA accredited High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor (HAIPE) Type 1 devices or NSA Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Comprised Solutions.

In these dynamic operational environments an individual may need to acquire, purchase, or authorize access to the IP network. Further, they may need to configure, establish, authenticate, or manage the way in which the NSA HAIPE or CSfC device connects, or interfaces, to the IP network, which may be the Internet or any other Wide Area Network. However, it is against government and military security policy to connect a computer that holds, or may hold, sensitive or classified information to an IP network for the purpose of acquiring, purchasing access to, authorizing us of, configuring, establishing a connection with, authenticating, or managing the connection or availability of an IP network in an effort to prevent potential inadvertent disclosure of sensitive or classified information.

Under the National Security Agency's (NSA) Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) program a CSfC Comprised Solution may enable the use of commercially available security products in layered solutions for protection of restricted information of the highest level. The CSfC Comprised Solution may be used alternatively or in conjunction with a HAIPE encryptor to provide security when dealing with restricted material on a public network.

SUMMARY

Disclosed herein is a plurality of internal data network communications interfaces configured to communicate with at least one classified IP network device using a NSA approved CSfC Comprised Solution.

In one embodiment a first piece of hardware acts as a first layer and second piece of hardware acts as a second layer to implement a CSfC Comprised Solution in one physical enclosure. In another embodiment, one of the two hardware components is virtually implemented in software. In another embodiment both of the components are virtually implemented in software. In yet another embodiment the two components are connected externally to each other.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following description is intended to convey an understanding of the invention by providing a number of example embodiments. It is understood, however, that the invention is not limited to these exemplary embodiments and details and one of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate the interoperability of using one embodiment with another embodiment.

In FIG. 1A a block diagram of an example implementation of the wide area network access management computer implemented using internal interfaces is shown where an unclassified computer, a wide area network access management computer 102, enables a classified computer 100, or computers, secured by a NSA HAIPE device 101, or devices, to communicate classified communications over IP networks 105. A communication system may include a classified computer terminal 100, such as a laptop device or portable computing device, for example, a netbook, ultra-mobile personal computer, voice over IP (VoIP) telephony device, IP network based sensor, or any other IP network based technology and a NSA HAIPE cryptographic device 101.

The wide area network access management computer 102 enables IP connectivity for the classified computing device 100, or devices through enabling IP connectivity for the NSA HAIPE device 101, or devices. The wide area network access management computer 102 may be connected directly to a NSA HAIPE device 101 on its internal network interface, and a public IP network 105 on its external network interface. The wide area network access management computer 102 may be included in a system of subsystems 103, where that system of subsystems 103 may include a NSA HAIPE device 101 and a wide area network access management computer 102.

The wide area network access management computer 102 may be configured to interface between the NSA HAIPE device 101, or devices and the internet protocol (IP) network 105 such that a secure channel is established between the classified computing device 100, or devices, protected by the NSA HAIPE device 101 attached on the internal network interface and a classified computer network which they seek to view, edit, or generate sensitive or classified data on or across reach through its external network interface.

The wide area network access management computer 102 may include a graphical user interface, internal network interfaces (such as an Ethernet interface, for example), external network interfaces (such as an Ethernet, 802.11 Wi-Fi, 802.16 Wi-Max, Bluetooth, 2G/3G/4G/5G Cellular, or satellite interface 104, for example), and a processing unit with an operating system (such as Microsoft Windows, Linux, OS X, for example). The processing unit performs the operations necessary to operate the internal network interfaces and external network interfaces, as well as present information to the graphical user interface and interpret user input from the graphical user interface. The processing unit leverages an operating system and associated applications to perform the processing and protocols associated with interconnecting the internal and external network interfaces including, but not limited to, routing protocols, proxy services, and encapsulation protocols. The processing unit also performs network client processing such as web browsing, video teleconference (VTC), VoIP telecommunications, chat, email and other processing to allow the user to interact with services provided on any of the attached networks.

An individual that needs to access sensitive or classified government or military networks must do so using a NSA HAIPE network encryptor 101 and a computing device 100 of some sort. The wide area network access management computer 102 may allow the NSA HAIPE device 101, and subsequent computing device 100, or devices, to gain access to IP data networks over various IP network connectivity options, using various IP networking protocols. The wide area network access management computer 102 acts as a go between for the NSA HAIPE 101 and the public IP network 105. The wide area network access management computer 102 is configured to interface between an IP network 105 and the classified IP network.

An individual may wish to use a hotel Ethernet connection to gain access to the Internet in order to connect back to a sensitive or classified network. However, most hotels require that the individual who wishes to use the hotel provided internet service to pay a small one time or recurring fee for service. This fee payment, and connectivity, takes place using a graphical user interface and an Internet browser software program running on this graphical user interface. The wide area network access management computer 102 may allow the individual to access an internet browser software program to allow for subscription to the hotel internet service, without having to connect the individual's classified computing device 100 to the public internet (which is against government and military security policy).

Additionally, the wide area network access management computer 102 may allow an individual, or individuals, to connect to many types of data network connections that allow for IP network connectivity. These connections include but are not limited to, Ethernet, 802.11 Wi-Fi, 802.16 Wi-Max, Bluetooth, 2G/3G/4G/5G Cellular, or satellite interfaces 104. Also, the wide area network access management computer 102 allows individuals to take advantage of various software-based performance enhancing protocols, applications, or other network or computing tools.

FIG. 1A shows a block diagram of an example implementation of the wide area network access management computer 102. The classified computing device 100 is connected to the NSA HAIPE device 101 and the NSA HAIPE device 101 is connected to the wide area network access management computer 102 on its internal network interface. The wide area network access management computer 102 is connected to the wide area network (WAN) 105 on its external network interface. Together, the NSA HAIPE device 101 and the wide area network access management computer 102 form a subsystem 103.

The wide area network access management computer 102 may include a graphical user interface to allow the user to access information and input commands. The wide area network access management computer 102 also includes an internal data network communications interface and an external data network communications interface. The internal data network communications interface allows for the connection of the wide area network access management computer 102 and the NSA HAIPE device 101. This connection may be established by an Ethernet interface. The external data network communications interface allows for the wide area network access management computer 102 to connect to the public IP network 105. The external data network communications interface may be connected to the public IP network 105 through a connection such as Ethernet, 802.11 Wi-Fi, 802.16 Wi-Max, Bluetooth, 2G/3G/4G/5G Cellular, or satellite interface 104.

The wide area network access management computer 102 may also include a processing unit which runs on an operating system. The processing unit operates the connections between the internal and external data network communication interfaces. The processing unit also enables the wide area network access management computer 102 to display information on the graphical user interface. The processing unit interprets the user input from the graphical user interface and processes the connections necessary for the internal and external data network communication interfaces. The processing unit allows the user to access services provided on any attached networks. The processing unit also performs client processing, including web browsing, video teleconferencing, VoIP telecommunications, chat, email and other services.

FIG. 1B shows a block diagram of an example implementation of a wide area network access management computer using external interfaces. The classified computing device 100 is connected to the NSA HAIPE device 101 and the NSA HAIPE device 101 is connected to the wide area network access management computer 102 on its external network interface. The wide area network access management computer 102 is connected to the wide area network (WAN) 105 on its external network interface. Together, the NSA HAIPE device 101 and the wide area network access management computer 102 are configured to provide individual to access an internet browser software program to allow for subscription to a hotel internet service, without having to connect the individual's classified computing device 100 to the public internet (which is against government and military security policy).

For a Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Comprised Solutions commercially available security products may be used in a layered configuration to provide protection for sensitive or classified information; such as sensitive or classified voice, data, video, information, etc. In a CSfC Comprised Solution a user may access restricted information by connecting a computing device to a first layer of encryption technology, which in turn connects to a second layer of encryption technology, which in turn provides the NSA required 2 layers of encryption technology required to access, extend, or protect sensitive or classified information, data and/or networks. In this disclosure the terms restricted, sensitive, classified, Confidential, Secret and Top Secret are referenced and interchangeable in so far as they serve to explain that in context the technological configuration is designed to restrict access and dissemination of information to certain people/devices; these terms, however, retain any well-known definitions relating to levels of secrecy as a person of ordinary skill in the art understands them in view of the U.S. Government Security Classifications, markings and handling.

In the IP networking domain CSfC equates to a dual encrypted tunneling approach (i.e. an Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnel within a second IPSec VPN tunnel=two layers of encryption/encrypted data, or a Media Access Control Security (MACSec) tunnel within a second MACSec tunnel=two layers of encryption/encrypted data, or an IPSec tunnel within a MACSec tunnel=two layers of encryption/encrypted data). This approach of using two encryption technologies in a layered approach is referred to as a CSfC Comprised Solution. The NSA has determined that double encrypting the data, as discussed herein, is cryptographically robust enough to protect classified information up to and including Top Secret and is a suitable alternative to using a Type 1 NSA Certified HAIPE device that is a Controlled Cryptographic Item (CCI) and Communication Security (COMSEC) device.

CSfC Comprised Solutions may serve as an alternative to traditional Type 1 NSA Certified HAIPE device use, eliminating the concerns of using Type 1 CCI and COMSEC devices in “hostile” environments where there is a high threat of the CCI item being lost, stolen, or taken by adversaries. Also, CSfC may provide a user with the ability to deploy cutting-edge technology from the commercial market rather than waiting for NSA Type 1 COMSEC devices to “catch up” with commercial products' technological capabilities.

FIG. 2A shows an embodiment of an apparatus which may be used to provide a CSfC Comprised Solution. In FIG. 2A a Small Tactical Executive Wide Area Network (WAN) (STEW) contains at least two networking components 211 and 212 in one enclosure 213. The two components may be connected internally for a CSfC operation or may connect externally. For example, the two components 211 and 212 may be two components, such as an Information Assurance Specialists (IAS) Router and a Cisco 5915 Embedded Service Router (ESR). The first component 211 may be an embedded computer configured to run at least an IAS Router, Cisco ASAv, Cisco CSR100V, Cisco ESR5921, Aruba Virtual Mobile Controller, Windows based operating system, a Windows based operating system with Cisco AnyConnect or Aruba VIA, Brocade's virtual router, and Palo Alto Networks' virtual router. In one example the first component may be a VPN Gateway/Router capable of performing IPSec VPN or MACsec modes of operation compliant to the NSA CSfC program requirements. The STEW may consume WAN technologies that interface via physical Ethernet, 3G/4G/5G Cellular, and/or Wi-Fi Client WAN. The first component 211 may be capable of serving as a multi-role device for a given system configuration. The second component 212, such as a Cisco ESR5915, may be a VPN Gateway/Router capable of performing IPSec VPN or MACsec modes of operation compliant to the NSA CSfC program requirements. The first or second component found within a STEW may have a web-based GUI allowing for easy access for non-technical users.

FIG. 2B shows an example of a STEW that contains an IAS Router MICRO, which may support supports 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi radio for client mode, access point (AP) mode, or both modes via an RP-SMA Antennas 201. The STEW may further contain a WAN Port 202, USB 3.0 ports for multiple cellular modems/smartphone tethering 203 and USB 2.0 ports for multiple cellular modems/smartphone tethering 204. The STEW may also contain LAN ports for utilizing the IAS Router VPN capabilities 205. The STEW may also have LAN ports (connected internally for CSfC operation or used to connect externally to another device, such as HAIPE) 206, Cisco ESR5915 LAN ports 207, a 9-36 VDC input 208 and a 12 VDC or 24 VDC output 209 which may be used as an option when not used in CSfC mode to connect a HAIPE. The STEW may also contain a cellular modem(s) internally.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a CSfC comprised solution called the IAS KG-175D Replacement Unit (KG-RU) that contains two components to replace the need for a Type 1 HAIPE device such as the IAS KG-175D. The IAS KG-RU may be capable of providing up to eleven RJ45 ports: six Gigabit on the first router such as an IAS Router (five shown 303 and 304, and one not shown configured internally), and five FE on the second router such as a Cisco LAN ESR5915 (four shown 301 and one not shown configured internally), wherein the internally configured ports connect the first router to the second router. The IAS KR-RU also contains a 9-36 VDC input 302.

The IAS Router within the KG-RU may be capable as serving as a multi-role device as well as supporting multiple VPN modes such as IPSec and SSL. The IAS Router within the KG-RU may also be capable of supporting MACsec. The IAS Router within the KG-RU may also have a web-based GUI. The second router (Cisco ESR5915) may be capable of supporting multiple VPN modes such as IPSec and SSL. The second router (Cisco ESR5915) may also be capable of supporting MACsec.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a CSfC Comprised Solution, such as the front of an IAS KG-RU, that includes an IAS Router MICRO paired with a Cisco ESR5915. In the CSfC Comprised Solution of FIG. 4, USB 3.0 401 and USB 2.0 402 ports can be utilized for multiple cellular modems and smartphone tethering. Additionally/alternatively, the USB ports may provide for use with a USB Key with Crypto Ignition Key (CIK) like functionality.
